IN DELHI REGION, AROUND 5,000 VEHICLES SWITCHING TO CNG EVERY MONTH

Pune In two years, the city-based National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) hopes to come out with clean energy fuel to generate electricity.

The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is working on the project. Director-General of CSIR Samir K Brahmachari said this was under CSIR

Low running cost, no need for disposal of batteries are its benefits

DINDIGUL: Four final year engineering students of P.S.N.A. College of Engineering and Technology have designed pilot model of a car that can be operated with hydrogen in the water, an alternative energy to fossil fuel.

Melbourne: Researchers in Australia have built a hydrogen-powered racing car using a modified internal combustion motorcycle engine, that they claim demonstrates the possibilities of the gas as a renewable fuel of the future.

Global carmakers and others who fight a feverish technology battle to push hydrogen as affordable and clean fuel in their vehicles may soon have an Indian research team to thank. Scientists led by K. Vijayamohanan Pillai at the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) in Pune have tweaked a material that is at the heart of a hydrogen-based fuel cell in such a way that the electrochemical device is capable of delivering more power for the same set-up.
